| Description of the problem | Blood has been drawn, and a small amount of skin was removed. The upper metal latch for the glove box has a knife edge. It is apparent that there was no attempt to file the edge dull before it was painted over. This is located in an area where hands are supposed to reach in. A competent service department with a metal file and a paint pen can remedy this in one minute. I don't want anyone else to be similarly injured. Please enforce a recall. Thanks for giving this your attention. |
